LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY (November 14, 2011) – Prominent artist and resident of Livingston Manor, Caroline Harrow has recently become a Signature Member in the North East Watercolor Society (NEWS). This honor is conferred only after a nominee has been accepted by NEWS into three International Juried Shows, approved by its Membership committee and ratified by its members at its Annual Meeting in Kent, CT. Only then may an artist use the “NEWS” initials after her signature.

Caroline adds those initials to a long list of her achievements, including the Rosenberger Award at the 2009 NEWS International exhibit, the Hein Purchase Award for “Fall for Art” in Kingston, NY, first place in the 2011 Delaware Valley Hospital “Winter Wonders of the Catskills” and the 2011“Audubon and Friends” exhibit in the Manor.

She maintains memberships in DVAA in Narrowsburg, where her paintings have been seen in “Art in the Sixes,” and at the Catskill Art Society, where she participates in all member shows. Her work continues to enhance the Noho Art Walk in New York City.

And, Caroline has won the Delaware Valley Hospital Winter Wonders of the Catskills First Place for their special ornament. She is a multiple award winner in this category.

Caroline’s deep devotion to the quaint charms of old barns and houses has brought her artistry to the Beaverkill Gallery, Lew Beach, Bridgewater Mercantile, Jeffersonville, the Hancock House in Hancock, NY and, closer to home, to the Plunk Shop and Sonoma Falls in Livingston Manor.

Caroline credits her old friend and mentor, artist Jack Yelle from Roscoe, NY, with helping her find watercolor as her true medium and artist’s “voice.” Luckily for our Catskill region, Caroline paints a lovely picture.
